Abstract

Autologous fat has the advantages of regeneration, rejuvenation, homology, and support. There are currently no reports indicating that injecting autologous fat enhances the fullness of the lower-lid pretarsal roll. In this retrospective, non-randomized study, the effects of injecting autologous fat to cosmetically enlarge the lower-lid pretarsal roll were evaluated by comparison of preoperative and postoperative photographs and patient satisfaction during the follow-up. First, fat tissues were manually sucked with a 20-ml syringe connected to a 2.5-mm three-hole liposuction cannula. The treated fat tissues were transferred to a 10-ml syringe and centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 2 min, and then the fibrous tissues were manually removed. Finally, autologous fat was injected using a 1-ml syringe linked to a sharp needle. Forty-seven patients who underwent surgery between 2018 and 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. Only three patients showed obvious asymmetry or uneven outlines after surgery and underwent a second fat injection. During recovery, bruising and minor contouring irregularities obviously improved after 1 or 2 weeks. Eight patients, who had severe bruising, were able to make a full recovery in more than 2 weeks. No patients experienced serious complications. All patients ultimately displayed pretarsal fullness in their lower eyelids and were satisfied with their outcomes. The effects of injecting autologous fat to cosmetically enlarge the lower-lid pretarsal roll are long-lasting, esthetic, and safe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

There are limited long-term results of using ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings in total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a large number of patient cohorts. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the minimum 10-year clinical and radiological outcomes and survivorship in a single surgeon series of CoC-THA. Among the 1,039 patients (1,391 hips) who underwent primary THA at our institution between 2008 and 2011, 49 patients (69 hips) experienced paralysis or death, and 194 patients (239 hips, 19%) were lost to follow-up. The remaining 796 patients (1,083 hips) were assessed at a mean of 11 years (range, 10 to 13 years) using the modified Harris hip score (mHHS), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and a questionnaire on articular noises. Survival analysis was used to estimate the survivorship. Radiological evaluation was performed on 869 hips at the final follow-up. Survivorship at 11 years was 98.3% for revision or aseptic loosening, and 98.2% for reoperation. At the final follow-up, the mean mHHS and WOMAC scores were 93 (range, 12 to 100) and 14.4 (range, 3 to 66), respectively. There were 131 (12%) hips that experienced squeaking, but no patient required revision. No fracture of the ceramic was observed. Radiological evaluation at the final follow-up revealed that 3 (0.3%) hips exhibited loosening, 2 (0.2%) had femoral osteolysis, 81(9.3%) acquired radiolucencies, and 35 (4%) showed heterotopic ossification. This CoC bearing for THA had a high survivorship and excellent functional outcomes for at least 10 years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
